Tim McCarver

Baseball Analyst




Regarded by many as baseball's premier television analyst, Tim McCarver serves as lead game
analyst for MLB on FOX, teaming with play-by-play announcer Joe Buck. Familiar to all fans who
watch baseball's jewel events, McCarver won an Emmy award for "Outstanding Sports Event
Analyst" in 2000 and 2003. 
 
McCarver joined FOX Sports after a two-year stint as a game analyst for The Baseball Network
broadcasts on ABC and NBC Sports.
 
After 16 seasons as an analyst for New York Mets baseball broadcasts, McCarver spent two
seasons broadcasting New York Yankees games.  In 2002 he was the analyst for the San
Francisco Giants.
 
McCarver served as lead analyst for CBS Sports' broadcasts of Major League Baseball - including
the All-Star Game, National League Championship Series and World Series -- from 1990 to 1993.
He teamed with Joe's father Jack Buck for the network's first two seasons (1990-1991) and then
Sean McDonough (1992-1993).
 
One of a handful of four-decade players in major league history (1959-80), McCarver played in
two All-Star Games (1966, 1967), three League Championship Series (1976-78), was a member
of two world championship teams in St. Louis (1964, 1967) and was the hottest hitter in the 1964
World Series against the New York Yankees when he led all regulars with a .478 batting average. 
During his career, Tim played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox,
and Montreal Expos. 
 
Currently Tim is the host of his own nationally syndicated show, The Tim McCarver Show. It is
an interview-style show with guests ranging from athletes to authors to politicians
.
A successful author, McCarver's most recent efforts, The Perfect Season and Tim McCarver's
Baseball For Brain Surgeons And Other Fans; Understanding and Interpreting the Game So You
Can Watch It Like a Pro, were written with acclaimed sportswriter and film and television critic
Danny Peary and published by Villard. His other book, O Baby, I Love It! (1986), was also published
